Lots of the proudboys are out getting attacked and beat up. And people are complaining about it, posting videos from the same russian troll twitter accounts that show this kind of stuff.
Know the best way not to get beat up by ANTIFA? Don't be a fascist/nazi/white supremacist/whatever.
Man that photo of the guy spewing spit everywhere would have been nasty in 2019, in the middle of a damn pandemic it just makes you want to curl up in the fetal position and try to forget that you saw...

Not all Americans are nut jobs, like those portrayed in the clips. What I don't get is, why the hell would anyone go out in public with their children knowing there's going to be trouble?
68style, what the hell? You're a mod.
Am I missing something here?

Funny how tens (hundreds?) Of thousands of trump supporters can gather and not a single broken window, act of arson or violence occurs.
Until blamtifa shows up.

My poor phone, some of us only have an iphone7 or worse bro... can only process so much cherry picked one-sided information at once
Sorry your side lost, better luck for your racist buds next time Zedbra
I don't have a side on this one, not my country, no skin in the game. What is interesting through all this still comes down to how people now, more than ever, love to hate and now express that either online or through physical violence; it is accepted as long as a person forms their own opinion, then it's justified; like calling 50% of Americans racists. That one never gets old.
Not justifying what happened but you could at least look to see what led up to it.
FWIW, I've seen the full full clip.
Trump supporters were retreating while being attacked. That's when a couple of them said enough is enough.

what about killing protestors with an assault rifle. *cough Kyle Rittenhouse.

Kenosha. Not exactly a Trump support gathering. One of the 600+ riots that have occurred since the death of George Floyd.
I don't believe the jury is out on that just yet. But when you're retreating from an armed mob (protesters), who are attacking you, trying to strip your weapon from you with the likelihood of using it against you, I'd say you have a strong case for self defense.

WTF is the point of posting these stupid videos? No offence, but you people that do are idiots. What does it prove, exactly?
I did sit and watch a livestream of the march on Youtube last night for about an hour or so, saw a whole bunch of white power chants, "take our country back", lots of heil hands, and "OK" hand signs. It looked and sounded like a literal Klan rally, chants of "I am my brother's keeper", all the classics.
Not sure how anyone can support that, you can cry about destroying property (you do realize those are anarchists), but I've never seen the utter rampant, and nasty racism you see in these MAGA rallies. Instead of watching these short clips, sit down and watch a live stream of these events in their entirety, you will see the type of vitriol and hate coming from these people. To bring your family and children to such an event is truly mind-blowing to me, way to indoctrinate them early there.
Speaking of the fighting though, Washington DC is one of the most diverse cities in the United States, carrying a black population of 50%. A place where the historic civil rights march was held only 25 years ago.
To carry this "Klan" rally there, is pretty fucking stupid, and one should expect retaliation and the affects that those anecdotal clips Zebra decided to post would entail.
These people man, they have literally no care or understanding of human nature or optics, they knew exactly what would happen with this ridiculous and hateful "march".

Destroying signs put up by businesses, real peaceful.

Here's the thing, I don't believe that every Trump voter is racist. What I do know, is that being a racist isn't a deal breaker for them.
Please ...for the sake of everyone, don't post any more short videos (with who know what context) to 'prove' your point. It does absolutely nothing. This is regardless of what 'side' you're on. Only thing it does is it makes you more entrenched in you position of reality and pisses the other side off.

I still hold the media largely responsible for it with their half truths and opinion fused "reporting". It'll be interesting to see where they land come January.
Hating Trump has become an industry for many. I wonder where it'll all go once that well runs dry.
AT&T seems to be looking to get the jump on this upcoming deficiency. https://www.kadn.com/content/news/573077821.html
